Well, things with the m/c seem to be progressing as they should be, at least for now; I went to have my blood drawn again today (my usual Monday adventure). I have to call back tomorrow to get my results *sigh* I get a little anxious on Mondays... So, I will have to wait patiently until tomorrow...

My Prayer,

Please God, let everything turn out ok...

Ok, so a miscarriage is frightening enough but what if you heard the words "You've been diagnosed with a partial molar pregnancy". Would they mean anything to you?

"What is it?" you ask.

Well it's quite strange and complicated... A partial molar pregnancy is when two sperm fertilize the same egg and instead of having the normal 46 chromosome it has 69. But that's not all; the cells of a molar pregnancy can linger and the molar pregnancy can grow back... Not only that, it can spread to other parts of your body and can become a form of cancer...

Unfortunately these are the words my doctor said to me on the phone yesterday... I am a little scared. The thought of cancer is frightening to us all, but I know that through everything God is sovereign and He has a reason for everything. Right now our life is full of peace and thankfulness that God is taking care of us through it all.
